Assessing the need for a dietitian in radiation oncology.
Nutritional care is an integral component of quality cancer treatment. Patients undergoing cancer therapy are at risk for developing a variety of side effects that impact their intake, absorption, and nutritional status. The issue becomes compounded in newly diagnosed patients who have preexisting poor nutritional status, comorbid diseases, mechanical obstruction, and metabolic abnormalities. S...
متن کاملIntegrating the healthcare enterprise in radiation oncology plug and play--the future of radiation oncology?
PURPOSE To describe the processes and benefits of the integrating healthcare enterprises in radiation oncology (IHE-RO). METHODS The IHE-RO process includes five basic steps. The first step is to identify common interoperability issues encountered in radiation treatment planning and the delivery process. IHE-RO committees partner with vendors to develop solutions (integration profiles) to int...
متن کاملRadiation oncology in Italy: the past, the present, the future.
Radiation therapy in Italy has a long tradition, with Italians being early adopters of this new technology. In 1901, an Italian publication reported the work of Arnone, who treated a case of leukemic splenomegaly with x-rays (1). In 1904, Nieddu published a review of the technique and dosimetric evaluation of 10 patients treated with x-rays, describing beneficial effects on skin epitheliomas an...
متن کاملMolecular biology: the key to personalised treatment in radiation oncology?
We know considerably more about what makes cells and tissues resistant or sensitive to radiation than we did 20 years ago. Novel techniques in molecular biology have made a major contribution to our understanding at the level of signalling pathways. Before the "New Biology" era, radioresponsiveness was defined in terms of physiological parameters designated as the five Rs. These are: repair, re...
متن کاملHuman 3-D tissue models in radiation biology: current status and future perspectives
In this review, we discuss the use of a variety of 3-D models (particularly 3-D skin, lung, breast and endothelial) in radiobiological research and highlight the differences in responses compared to 2-D culturing conditions (monolayers). We review the characteristics of existing 3-D models and aim to point out the substantial advantages 3-D cultures provide for modern radiobiology. In particula...
